Follow up to fix BUG-3286 "Can't move object" fail notifications

Ha! The lab heard us talking about it.

 

Thanks for rebooting main too.

sigh

So today's restarts without roll evaporated.  As apparently did today's tranche of "Maintenance".

If this wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.  Do you guys EVER sing off the same hymn sheet?

The more thoughtful of us wondered at the wisdom of restarts, worse still rolls during periods of "Maintenance".  It would seem that both the "Maintenance" and the Main Server restarts were cancelled today.  I wonder what confusion tomorrow will bring?

I just don't trust SL announcements any more.

I bet the Linden Clock is one day late, and the roll happens while all the Europeans are doing thei events!

With Today's roll on LeTigre, I see some very strange behavior.

You are at 100.0, 180.2, 1,500.0 in Borgbeef located at sim10143.agni.lindenlab.com (216.82.48.209:13010)
SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Borgbeef/100/180/1500
(global coordinates 286,820.0, 271,284.0, 1,500.0)
Second Life RC LeTigre 17.01.27.323172

After the roll, Logging onto the sim with my main account, and an alt, i would start seeing massive packet loss. I'm talking 50% or greater. In the past, logging in with two accounts never posed an issue. I was looking at the debug log inworld, and I could see the dynamic sim throttle was going crazy:

every 5 seconds it would swing from a ridiculously low value to a ridiculously high value. After awhile it settled down, I had to lower my bandwidth from the usual 3000 to around 1750. So it seems something has really cut back on bandwidth, or is restricting bandwidth based on IP, so my two accounts are bundled into one.  Either way this is undesirable behavior.

Linden techs are now time travellers!  They completed tomorrow's "Maintenance" today!   Of course that could just be a ham-fisted way of saying that the "Maintenance" that was due to be done tomorrow was either done today or is no longer needed.  Is plain English no longer used here?

As an aside, Wirtz, also on LeTigre seems a bit rough too after the restart, so perhaps things are not as they should be.  I'm nothing like the authority that Dari is, so I defer there, but it looks like we have a problem, Houston.

Doing a roll when there is a Solar Geo Magnetic Storm is not a good idea.

Darian will blame LL for communication errors and slow downs.

Be informed and play safe.

Planetary K-index, are used to characterize the magnitude of geomagnetic storms.
